TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to electronic packaging, and more particularly, to multi-die electronic packages with first dies and a second die over the first dies and methods of forming such electronic packages.

BACKGROUND

The demand for miniaturization of form factor and increased levels of integration for high performance are driving sophisticated packaging approaches in the semiconductor industry. Die partitioning enabled by embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) architectures allows for miniaturization of small form factor and high performance without yield issues seen with other methods. However, such packaging architectures require fine die-to-die interconnects that are susceptible to yield issues due to poor bump thickness variation (BTV) (e.g., due to warpage, limitations on assembly tools, and the like).

Alternative approaches using a patch containing a coarse node die between the fine dies and traditional organic substrates have been proposed as well. Such architectures allow for the integration of dies that are formed at different process nodes. This architecture also has several limitations as well. Particularly, the advanced node dies are attached to the lower node die at later stages of the package formation using thermal compression bonding (TCB). Accordingly, die placement accuracy is limited by the TCB toolset and by warpage. The TCB attach in later stages imposes stringent warpage limitations on the patch and drives a significantly lower TCB window. Furthermore, architecture proposed also relies on a second carrier attach after the advanced node dies are attached in order to implement mid-level interconnect (MLI) and Package Side Bumps (PSB). This leads to additional yield losses.

EMBODIMENTS OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

Described herein are multi-die electronic packages with first dies and a second die over the first dies and methods of forming such electronic packages, in accordance with various embodiments. In the following description, various aspects of the illustrative implementations will be described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced with only some of the described aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the illustrative implementations. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the illustrative implementations.

Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the present invention, however, the order of description should not be construed to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations need not be performed in the order of presentation.

As noted above, multi-die packages provide the ability to continue scaling to smaller form factors while also obtaining advanced performance. However, current architectures suffer from assembly issues that negatively impact yield. Accordingly, embodiments disclosed herein include multi-die packages that are assembled with a process flow that minimizes warpage and alignment issues.

Particularly, embodiments disclosed herein include a plurality of first dies that are at an advanced process node and one or more second dies at a lower process node. In an embodiment, the first dies are placed into the package at the initial stages of package assembly. The early placing of the first dies has several advantages. For one, the placement process may be implemented with a die mounter instead of a thermal compression bonding (TCB) tool. Die mounters have a placement accuracy that is an order of magnitude accurate than a TCB tool. Additionally, there is less warpage during early stage placement of the first dies.

In an embodiment, the attachment of the lower node second die to the first dies also has a larger TCB window. The TCB window is improved since the package is still attached to the first dies on a dimensionally stable (e.g., glass) carrier in place which results in low warpage. Additionally, embodiments allow for mid-level interconnects (MLI) and PSB formation before the carrier is removed. Accordingly, additional carriers otherwise needed for the formation of such features is avoided.

Referring now to FIG. 1A, a cross-sectional illustration of a multi-die electronic package 100 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the electronic package 100 may comprise a mold layer 120 with a plurality of dies embedded in the mold layer. For example, a plurality of first dies 107 and a second die 110 may be embedded in the mold layer 120. While the mold layer 120 is shown as being comprised of discrete layers, it is to be appreciated that no discernable boundary may be present between the different portions of the mold layer 120. In an embodiment, the mold layer 120 may comprise a first surface 109 and a second surface 127 opposite from the first surface 109. The mold layer 120 may comprise any suitable material for electronic packaging, such as epoxy or the like.

In an embodiment, a plurality of first dies 107 may be embedded in the mold layer 120 such that a surface 108 of the first dies 107 is substantially coplanar with the first surface 109 of the mold layer 120. In an embodiment, the surface 108 may be referred to as a backside surface of the first dies 107. Since the backside surface 108 is exposed, thermal management of the electronic package 100 is improved. In some embodiments, a heat sink or other thermal solution may be attached to the backside surface 108 of the first dies 107.

In an embodiment, a plurality of high speed input/out HSIO dies 112 may also be embedded in the mold layer 120. The HSIO dies 112 may be substantially coplanar with the first dies 107. That is, a backside surface 113 of the HSIO dies 112 may be substantially coplanar with the first surface 109 of the mold layer 120 and the backside surface 108 of the first dies 107.

In an embodiment, the plurality of first dies 107 may be electrically coupled to a second die 110 that is embedded in the mold layer 120. In an embodiment, the second die 110 is positioned between an active surface 106 of the first dies 107 and the second surface 127 of the mold layer 120. The second die 110 may have an active surface 114 and a backside surface 115. In an embodiment, the second die 110 and the first dies 107 are arranged in a face-to-face configuration. That is, the active surface 114 of the second die 110 faces the active surfaces 106 of the first dies 107. In an embodiment, the first dies 107 may be fabricated at a first process node and the second die 110 may be fabricated at a second process node that is less advanced than the first process node.

In an embodiment, the first dies 107 may be electrically coupled to the second die 110 with first level interconnects (FLIs) 118. For example, pads 117 of the first dies 107 may be electrically coupled to pads 119 of the second die 110 by FLIs 118, such as controlled collapse chip connection (C4) bumps, or the like. In an embodiment, the pads 119 of the second die 110 and the FLIs 118 may be surrounded by an underfill material 111, and the pads 117 of the first die 107 may be surrounded by the mold layer 120.

In a particular embodiment, the first dies 107 may be interconnected to each other through the second die 110. That is, the second die 110 may function as a patch to provide interconnections between each of the first dies 107. In some embodiments, the first dies 107 may all be substantially similar to each other. In other embodiments, the first dies 107 may comprise different functionalities. In the illustrated embodiment, four first dies 107 are shown. However, it is to be appreciated that an array of any number of first dies 107 (e.g., two or more) may be used in an electronic package 100.

In an embodiment, the HSIO dies 112 may also be electrically coupled to the second die 110. For example, the HSIO dies 112 may be electrically coupled to pads 119 on the second die 110 by FLIs 118 in substantially the same manner the first dies 107 are connected to the second die 110. In an embodiment, the second die 110 may provide interconnections between the first dies 107 and the HSIO dies 112.

In an embodiment, a plurality of redistribution layers (RDLs) comprising conductive traces, pads 125, and vias 124 may be embedded in the mold layer 120. The RDLs may electrically couple surfaces of the first dies 107, the second die 110, and the HSIO dies 112 to mid-level interconnects (MLIs) 128 over the second surface 127 of the mold layer 120. In an embodiment, the MLIs 128 may be positioned in openings through a solder resist 122, as is known in the art.

Referring now to FIG. 1B, a cross-sectional illustration of an electronic package 101 is shown, in accordance with an additional embodiment. In an embodiment, the electronic package 101 may be substantially similar to the electronic package 100 described above with respect to FIG. 1A, with the exception that a plurality of second dies 110 are included. In the illustrated embodiment, two second dies 110A and 110E are shown. However, it is to be appreciated that an array of any number of second dies 110 (e.g., two or more) may be included in electronic package 101.

In an embodiment, the second dies 110 may be electrically coupled together with one or more bridges 130. The bridge 130 may be an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) or the like. For example, the bridge 130 may include pads 131 with fine pitch that is suitable for connecting to pads 119 on the backside surface 115 of the second dies 110. For example, FLIs 118 may electrically couple pads 131 to pads 119. In an embodiment, the pads 131 and FLIs 118 may be surrounded by an underfill material 111, and the pads 119 on the backside surface 115 of the second dies 110 may be surrounded by the mold layer 120.

The interconnection of an array of second dies 110 with one or more bridges 130 provides a die tiling architecture. That is, the plurality of second dies 110 may function as a single die. This may be particularly beneficial when the combined area of the second dies exceeds the reticle limit of the process node used to fabricate the second dies 110.

Referring now to FIG. 2A, a cross-sectional illustration of an electronic package 200 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the electronic package 200 may comprise a mold layer 220 with a plurality of dies embedded in the mold layer. For example, a plurality of first dies 207 and a second die 210 may be embedded in the mold layer 220. While the mold layer 220 is shown as being comprised of discrete layers, it is to be appreciated that no discernable boundary may be present between the different portions of the mold layer 220. In an embodiment, the mold layer 220 may comprise a first surface 209 and a second surface 227 opposite from the first surface 209. The mold layer 220 may comprise any suitable material for electronic packaging, such as epoxy or the like.

In an embodiment, a plurality of first dies 207 may be embedded in the mold layer 220. In contrast to the electronic package 100 described above, a surface 208 of the first dies 207 may be covered by the mold layer 220. In an embodiment, the surface 208 may be referred to as a backside surface of the first dies 207.

In an embodiment, a plurality of HSIO dies 212 may also be embedded in the mold layer 220. The HSIO dies 212 may be substantially coplanar with the first surface 209 of the mold layer 220. That is, a backside surface 213 of the HSIO dies 212 may be substantially coplanar with the first surface 209 of the mold layer 220. In an embodiment, a thickness Ti of the first dies 207 may be different than a thickness T2 of the HSIO dies 212. For example, the thickness Ti of the first dies 207 may be less than the thickness T2 of the HSIO dies 212. As shown in FIG. 2A, the backside surfaces 213 of HSIO dies 212 are substantially coplanar with the surface 209 of mold layer 220. However, it is to be appreciated that the mold layer 220 may also completely embed the HSIO dies 212 so that backside surface 213 is covered by the mold layer 220.

In an embodiment, the plurality of first dies 207 may be electrically coupled to a second die 210 that is embedded in the mold layer 220. In an embodiment, the second die 210 is positioned between an active surface 206 of the first dies 207 and the second surface 227 of the mold layer 220. The second die 210 may have an active surface 214 and a backside surface 215. In an embodiment, the second die 210 and the first dies 207 are arranged in a face-to-face configuration. That is, the active surface 214 of the second die 210 faces the active surfaces 206 of the first dies 207. In an embodiment, the first dies 207 may be fabricated at a first process node and the second die 210 may be fabricated at a second process node that is less advanced than the first process node. In an embodiment, a solder resist layer 242 may be located between the first dies 207 and the second die 210.

In an embodiment, the first dies 207 may be electrically coupled to the second die 210 with first level interconnects (FLIs) 218 and a via 246 through the solder resist layer 242. For example, pads 217 of the first dies 207 may be electrically coupled to the vias 246 by FLIs 218. The opposite surface of the vias 246 may be electrically coupled to pads 219 of the second die 210 by FLIs 218 as well. In an embodiment, the pads 219 of the second die 210 and the FLIs 218 between the vias 246 and the second die 210 may be surrounded by an underfill material 211. In an embodiment, the pads 217 of the first die 207 and the FLIs 218 between the first dies 207 may be surrounded by a different underfill material 211.

In a particular embodiment, the first dies 207 may be interconnected to each other through the second die 210. That is, the second die 210 may function as a patch to provide interconnections between each of the first dies 207. In some embodiments, the first dies 207 may all be substantially similar to each other. In other embodiments, the first dies 207 may comprise different functionalities. In the illustrated embodiment, four first dies 207 are shown. However, it is to be appreciated that an array of any number of first dies 207 (e.g., two or more) may be used in an electronic package 200.

In an embodiment, the HSIO dies 212 may also be electrically coupled to the second die 210. For example, the HSIO dies 212 may be electrically coupled to pads 219 on the second die 210 by FLIs 218 and vias 246 through the solder resist layer 242 in substantially the same manner the first dies 207 are connected to the second die 210. In an embodiment, the second die 210 may provide interconnections between the first dies 207 and the HSIO dies 212.

In an embodiment, a plurality of redistribution layers (RDLs) comprising conductive traces, pads 225, and vias 224 may be embedded in the mold layer 220. The RDLs may electrically couple surfaces of the first dies 207, the second die 210, and the HSIO dies 212 to mid-level interconnects (MLIs) 228 over the second surface 227 of the mold layer 220. In an embodiment, the MLIs 228 may be positioned in openings through a solder resist 222, as is known in the art.

Referring now to FIG. 2B, a cross-sectional illustration of an electronic package 201 is shown, in accordance with an additional embodiment. In an embodiment, the electronic package 201 may be substantially similar to the electronic package 200 described above with respect to FIG. 2A, with the exception that a plurality of second dies 210 are included. In the illustrated embodiment, two second dies 210A and 210E are shown. However, it is to be appreciated that an array of any number of second dies 210 (e.g., two or more) may be included in electronic package 201.

In an embodiment, the second dies 210 may be electrically coupled together with one or more bridges 230. The bridge 230 may be an EMIB or the like. For example, the bridge 230 may include pads 231 with fine pitch that is suitable for connecting to pads 219 on the backside surface 215 of the second dies 210. For example, FLIs 218 may electrically couple pads 231 to pads 219. In an embodiment, the pads 231 and FLIs 218 may be surrounded by an underfill material 211, and the pads 219 on the backside surface 215 of the second dies 210 may be surrounded by the mold layer 220.

The interconnection of an array of second dies 210 with one or more bridges 230 provides a die tiling architecture. That is, the plurality of second dies 210 may function as a single die. This may be particularly beneficial when the combined area of the second dies exceeds the reticle limit of the process node used to fabricate the second dies 210.

Referring now to FIGS. 3A-3J, a series of cross-sectional illustrations depicting a process for fabricating an electronic package 300 similar to the electronic package 100 described in FIG. 1A is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. As will be apparent, the process includes mounting the first dies 307 early in the assembly process in order to provide improved alignment that is not susceptible to variations arising from warpage.

Referring now to FIG. 3A, a cross-sectional illustration of an electronic package 300 after placement of the first dies 307 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the first dies 307 may be attached to a release layer 371 over a carrier 370. The carrier 370 may be a dimensionally stable material that is not susceptible to significant warpages. For example, the carrier 370 may be a glass carrier.

In an embodiment, the first dies 307 may be mounted to the release layer with a die mounter tool. The use of a die mounter tool to place the first dies 307 provides improved placement accuracy compared to TCB tools. A die mounter tool typically has a placement precision that is an order of magnitude better than TCB tools. For example, a TCB tool typically has a precision of ±15 μm whereas a die mounter tool has a precision of ±5 μm.

In an embodiment, the first dies 307 are mounted to the release layer 371 with a backside surface 308 interfacing with the release layer 371. Accordingly, an active surface 306 and pads 317 on the active surface 306 of the first dies 307 are facing away from the carrier 370. In an embodiment, a plurality of HSIO dies 312 may also be mounted to the release layer 371. A backside surface 313 of the HSIO dies 312 may interface with the release layer 371 with pads 317 facing away from the carrier 370. Accordingly, the backside surfaces 308 of the first dies 307 may be substantially coplanar with backside surfaces 313 of the HSIO dies 312.

Referring now to FIG. 3B, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 300 after a mold layer 320 is disposed over the first dies 307, the HSIO dies 312 and the carrier 370 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the mold layer 320 may be disposed and planarized in order to expose surfaces of the pads 317 of the first dies 307 and the HSIO dies 312. The mold layer 320 may be planarized with a grinding or polishing process, as is known in the art.

Referring now FIG. 3C, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 300 after vias 324 are fabricated over selected pads 317 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the vias 324 may be conductive pillars or any other suitable conductive feature for forming vias in an electronic package. In an embodiment, the vias 324 may be fabricated over pads 317 on the HSIO dies 312.

Referring now to FIG. 3D, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package after a second die 310 is attached to the first dies 307 and the HSIO dies 312 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the second die 310 may be attached with a TCB tool. Since the TCB attach happens in the early stages of package assembly (and with the dimensionally stable carrier 370 still in place) the impact of warpage is minimal. Accordingly, yield loss is minimal or none.

In an embodiment, the second die 310 may be coupled to the first dies 307 and the HSIO dies 312 with FLIs 318. For example, C4 bumps may electrically couple pads 317 of the first dies 307 and the HSIO dies 312 to pads 319 of the second die 310. In an embodiment, an underfill material 311 may surround the FLIs 318 and the pads 319 of the second die 310.

In an embodiment, the second die 310 may be mounted to the first dies 307 in a face-to-face configuration. That is, an active surface 314 of the second die 310 may face the active surface 306 (i.e., the surface below pads 317) of the first dies 307. In an embodiment, pads 319 may also be formed over a backside surface 315 of the second die 310. The pads 319 over the backside surface 315 may be pads for through substrate vias (TSVs) (not shown) that allow for electrical connections to pass through the second die 310 from the active surface 314 to the backside surface 315. In an embodiment, the first dies 307 may be fabricated at a first process node and the second die 310 may be fabricated at a second process node that is less advanced than the first process node.

Referring now to FIG. 3E, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 300 after a mold layer 320 is disposed over and around the second die 310 and the vias 324 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the mold layer 320 may be planarized (e.g., with polishing or grinding) to expose surfaces of the pads 319 and the vias 324.

Referring now to FIG. 3F, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 300 after pads 325 and vias 324 are formed is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the pads 325 and the vias 324 may be for a redistribution layer (RDL) formed above the second die 310.

Referring now to FIG. 3G, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 300 after additional RDLs are formed is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the RDLs may comprise pads 325 and vias 324 embedded in a mold layer 320. In an embodiment, the RDLs are fabricated with a lithographic via process (e.g., pad/via formation, molding, mold grinding/polishing to expose the vias, etc.). In other embodiments, the RDLs may be fabricated with a suitable semi-additive process (SAP) using traditional High Density Interconnect (HDI) organic build-up dielectric layers, plating, and the like. As shown in FIG. 3G, the mold layer 320 includes a plurality of distinguishable layers. However, it is to be appreciated that in some embodiments there may be no discernable boundary between layers of the mold layer 320.

Referring now to FIG. 3H, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 300 after a solder resist layer 322 is disposed over a surface 327 of the mold layer 320 and patterned is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the resist layer is patterned to form a plurality of openings 323 that expose pads 325 over the mold layer 320.

Referring now to FIG. 31, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 300 after MLIs 328 are disposed in the openings 323 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the MLIs 328 may comprise a solder or the like. Furthermore, it is to be appreciated that the MIL formation is implemented while the dimensionally stable carrier is still attached to the electronic package 300. Accordingly, the attachment of an additional carrier is not needed, as is the case with previously disclosed approaches.

Referring now to FIG. 3J, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 300 after the carrier 370 and the release layer 371 are removed is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, any release layer residue may be removed with typical wet or dry cleaning methods, as is known in the art. After cleaning, the package 300 may be singulated to have the desired size.

As shown in FIG. 3J, backside surfaces 308 of the first dies 307 are exposed. Accordingly, thermal management of the electronic package 300 is improved. In some embodiments, a thermal solution (e.g., a heat sink, a heat spreader, etc.) may be coupled to the backside surfaces 308 of the first dies 307. In an embodiment, the backside surfaces 308 of the first dies 307 may be substantially coplanar with the backside surfaces 313 of the HSIO dies 312 and the surface 309 of the mold layer 320.

Referring now to FIGS. 4A-4D, a series of cross-sectional illustrations depicting a process of forming an electronic package 401 similar to the electronic package 101 described with respect to FIG. 1B is shown, in accordance with an embodiment.

Referring now to FIG. 4A, a cross-sectional illustration of an electronic package 401 after a plurality of second dies 410 are attached to first dies is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the incoming electronic package 401 may be fabricated with substantially similar processing operations described with respect to FIGS. 3A-3C. For example, the backside surfaces 408 of first dies 407 and backside surfaces 413 of HSIO dies 412 may be mounted to a release layer 471 over a dimensionally stable carrier 470, and vias 424 may be formed over the HSIO dies 412.

In an embodiment, the second dies 410A and 410E may be attached to the first dies 407 with a TCB tool. Since the TCB attach happens in the early stages of package assembly (and with the dimensionally stable carrier 470 still in place) the impact of warpage is minimal. Accordingly, yield loss is minimal or none.

In an embodiment, the second dies 410A and 410E may be coupled to the first dies 407 and the HSIO dies 412 with FLIs 418. For example, C4 bumps may electrically couple pads 417 of the first dies 407 and the HSIO dies 412 to pads 419 of the second dies 410. In an embodiment, an underfill material 411 may surround the FLIs 418 and the pads 419 of the second die 410.

In an embodiment, the second dies 410 may be mounted to the first dies 407 in a face-to-face configuration. That is, an active surface 414 of the second dies 410 may face the active surface 406 of the first dies 407. In an embodiment, pads 419 may also be formed over a backside surface 415 of the second die 410. The pads 419 over the backside surface 415 may be pads for through substrate vias (TSVs) (not shown) that allow for electrical connections to pass through the second die 410 from the active surface 414 to the backside surface 415. In an embodiment, the first dies 407 may be fabricated at a first process node and the second dies 410 may be fabricated at a second process node that is less advanced than the first process node.

Referring now to FIG. 4B, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 401 after a mold layer 420 is disposed over and around the second die 410 and the vias 424 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the mold layer 420 may be planarized (e.g., with polishing or grinding) to expose surfaces of the pads 419 and the vias 424.

Referring now to FIG. 4C, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 401 after a bridge 430 is attached across the second dies 410A and 410E is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the bridge 430 may be an EMIB or the like that provides electrical coupling between second dies 410A and 410B. The interconnection of an array of second dies 410 with one or more bridges 430 provides a die tiling architecture. That is, the plurality of second dies 410 may function as a single die. This may be particularly beneficial when the combined area of the second dies 410 exceeds the reticle limit of the process node used to fabricate the second dies 410.

In an embodiment, the bridge 430 may comprise pads 431 that are electrically coupled to pads 419 on the backside surface 415 of the second dies 410. In an embodiment the pads 419 may be electrically coupled to pads 431 with FLIs 418. The pads 431 and the FLIs 418 may be surrounded by an underfill material 411. While a single bridge 430 is shown in FIG. 4C, it is to be appreciated that electronic package 401 may comprise a plurality of bridges 430 to provide connections between any number of second dies 410.

Referring now to FIG. 4D, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package after RDLs comprising pads 425, vias 424, and mold layers 420 is fabricated over the second dies 410 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the RDLs may be fabricated with a lithographic via process or with standard SAP processes. In an embodiment, a solder resist 422 may be formed over a surface 427 of the mold layer 420. MLIs 428 may pass through the solder resist 422 to provide connections to pads 425. Furthermore, it is to be appreciated that the MIL formation is implemented while the dimensionally stable carrier is still attached to the electronic package 401. Accordingly, the attachment of an additional carrier is not needed, as is the case with previously disclosed approaches.

Referring now to FIG. 4E, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 401 after the carrier 470 and the release layer 471 are removed is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, any release layer residue may be removed with typical wet or dry cleaning methods, as is known in the art. After cleaning, the package 401 may be singulated to have the desired size.

As shown in FIG. 4E, backside surfaces 408 of the first dies 407 are exposed. Accordingly, thermal management of the electronic package 401 is improved. In some embodiments, a thermal solution (e.g., a heat sink, a heat spreader, etc.) may be coupled to the backside surfaces 408 of the first dies 407. In an embodiment, the backside surfaces 408 of the first dies 407 may be substantially coplanar with the backside surfaces 413 of the HSIO dies 412 and the surface 409 of the mold layer 420.

Referring now to FIGS. 5A-5G, a series of cross-sectional illustrations depicting a process to form an electronic package 500 similar to the electronic package 200 shown in FIG. 2A is shown, in accordance with an embodiment.

Referring now to FIG. 5D, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 500 after first dies 507 and HSIO dies 512 are mounted is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the first dies 507 and the HSIO dies 512 may be mounted to FLIs 518 with a TCB tool. Accordingly, pads 517 may be attached to the FLIs 518. The pads 517 and FLIs 518 may be surrounded by an underfill material 511. As shown, the first dies 507 may be attached with a face down configuration. That is, active surfaces 506 of the first dies 507 may face towards the first carrier 570 and backside surfaces 508 of the first dies 507 may face away from the first carrier 570.

In an embodiment, the face down configuration provides an advantage in that thicknesses of the first dies 507 and the HSIO dies 512 need not be the same. For example, first dies 507 may have a first thickness Ti and HSIO dies 512 may have a second thickness T2 that is different (e.g., greater) than the first thickness Ti. In an embodiment, a mold layer 520 may be disposed over and around the first dies 507 and the HSIO dies 512 after they have been mounted to the first carrier 570. In some embodiments, the molded layer 520 may be recessed with a grinding or polishing process to expose the HSIO die back surface.

Referring now to FIG. 5E, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 500 after the first carrier 570 is removed and a second carrier 580 is attached to an opposing surface of the electronic package 500. As shown, the second carrier 580 may interface with the mold layer 520 and the solder resist 542 is now facing upwards away from the second carrier 580. In an embodiment, the seed layer 573 may be patterned to form pads 574 over the vias 546.

Referring now to FIG. 5F, a cross-sectional illustration of the electronic package 500 after vias 524 are fabricated and a second die 510 is attached to the first dies 507 and the HSIO dies 512 is shown, in accordance with an embodiment. In an embodiment, the second die 510 may be attached with a TCB tool. Since the TCB attach happens in the early stages of package assembly (and with the dimensionally stable second carrier 580 still in place) the impact of warpage is minimal. Accordingly, yield loss is minimal or none.

In an embodiment, the second die 510 may be coupled to the first dies 507 and the HSIO dies 512 with FLIs 518. For example, FLIs 518 may couple pads 519 of the second die 510 to the vias 546 through the solder resist 542. In an embodiment, an underfill material 511 may surround the FLIs 518 and the pads 519 of the second die 510.

In an embodiment, the second die 510 may be mounted to the first dies 507 in a face-to-face configuration. That is, an active surface 514 of the second die 510 may face the active surface 506 of the first dies 507. In an embodiment, pads 519 may also be formed over a backside surface 515 of the second die 510. The pads 519 over the backside surface 519 may be pads for through substrate vias (TSVs) (not shown) that allow for electrical connections to pass through the second die 510 from the active surface 514 to the backside surface 515. In an embodiment, the first dies 507 may be fabricated at a first process node and the second die 510 may be fabricated at a second process node that is less advanced than the first process node.

In an embodiment, the RDLs are fabricated with a lithographic via process or a SAP process, as is known in the art. As shown in FIG. 5G, the mold layer 520 includes a plurality of distinguishable layers. However, it is to be appreciated that in some embodiments there may be no discernable boundary between layers of the mold layer 520.

In an embodiment a solder resist layer 522 is disposed over a surface 527 of the mold layer 520. In an embodiment, the resist layer is patterned and MLIs 528 may be disposed. In an embodiment, the MLIs 528 may comprise a solder or the like. Furthermore, it is to be appreciated that the MLI formation is implemented while the dimensionally stable second carrier 580 is still attached to the electronic package 500. Accordingly, the attachment of an additional carrier is not needed, as is the case with previously disclosed approaches.

In an embodiment the second carrier 580 is removed to expose a surface 509 of the mold layer 520. As shown in FIG. 5G, backside surfaces 508 of the first dies 507 are embedded in the mold layer 520.

This may be particularly beneficial when the combined area of the second dies 610 exceeds the reticle limit of the process node used to fabricate the second dies 610.

In an embodiment, the bridge 630 may comprise pads 631 that are electrically coupled to pads 619 on the backside surface 615 of the second dies 610.
